Chapter 378: Influence One
Rhodes watched all the man's movements when refining potions, and some thoughts came to his mind.
In Rhodes' opinion, this man obviously knew a lot about potions, and had a certain amount of research, so that in this way, most of the steps of crude potions were omitted, and a good bottle of potions could be directly refined.
Even so, even if the man knew Potions extremely well, there was no need to show it like this.
In the initial test, there was no limit to the quality of the potion, and the potions refined needed to be handed in, and the refiner of the potion could not keep it, even if the man refined the potion of extremely high quality, I am afraid that it would not end up in his hands.
In this way, in the initial test, no matter what quality potion is refined, the effect can be the same, and it can make itself enter the next round of competition.
Rod knew that the reason why the man chose such a way to attract almost all the mages around him was naturally because of his own intentions.
At this time, Rhodes also remembered the main purpose of these necromancers who came to participate in the Potions Competition.
In the course of the previous conversation, according to Reese, the Necromancer chose to involve the Necromancer in the Potions Competition, mainly in order to increase the Necromancer's influence among the mage community.
Unlike the lords of other regions, these mages in the academy have extremely limited knowledge of necromancers, and are limited to the teachings of the mentors in the academy. In this case, it is inevitable that there will be serious hostility towards necromancers, ordinary mages within the academy.
Although the necromancer can infiltrate the academy, it is difficult to touch the mages in the academy like colluding with the lord.
The Academy of Spells, arguably Bracada's last holy place, is where the influence of necromancers is minimized.
Therefore, the instructions of the Spirit Society are to increase the influence of necromancers in the academy through this potions competition.
For necromancers, there are naturally many ways to increase their influence, but in order to achieve their later goals, they must choose positive effects to improve, similar to the destruction that necromancers are good at, but it can't play a role.
If you can win the Potions competition, you will naturally be able to increase your influence to the maximum, but this method is extremely difficult.
In addition to winning the championship, there are also many ways to increase the influence of the necromancer, and the previous man's actions are also aimed at achieving this purpose.
After thinking of this, Rod could understand this man's behavior. The man had already shocked the mages around him with the delicate control he had displayed while refining potions.
As the man finished sealing the potion, the strange fragrance that had appeared in the field before gradually disappeared, but this did not prevent the surrounding mages from focusing on the bottle of potion in the man's hand.
When the man handed in the potion, the mage in charge of the inspection did not dare to be careless, but put the potion in a separate area, and then took out a special certificate and handed it to the man.
Although in the initial test, the materials for refining potions are prepared by the players themselves, but after the inspection is completed, the potions will not be returned to them, but belong to the Ice Blue Spell Academy.
After the House Gala is over, with the potions produced in the Potions Competition, the Ice Blue Spell Academy will be able to advance the research progress of Potions by a large margin over the rest of the Houses that are not the gathering place of the House Gala, which can be regarded as one of the benefits of holding the House Gala.
In order to distinguish the quality of the potions made by the players, the mages in charge of checking the potions have also divided into multiple areas to store potions of different quality.
Before this man came on the field, there were already some mages who had refined potions first, but in terms of quality, these potions naturally could not surpass this man, so these potions were placed on the unified area.
After refining potions, the mages would obtain some credentials to prove that they had completed the initial test of the potions competition, and this man obtained a very special kind of credentials that proved that he had a very high level of refining potions.
In the following competitions, thanks to this special credential, the man was able to avoid many mages who had the same high level of potion refining as him until the final round.
In addition, being able to obtain this kind of certificate in itself means that this man has an extremely high level in refining potions.
Without knowing the true identity of this man, just from the eyes of the mages around them, it can be seen that they have developed some respect for this man, and few mages regard him as an opponent.
After obtaining the certificate, the man looked around, and the mage who had made a mocking sound before was completely silent at this time, and when he noticed the man's gaze, he could only look away.
In the end, the man's eyes stayed on Rod on the sidelines, and some doubts appeared in his heart.
The man noticed that it seemed that from before he entered the field until after he finished refining the potion, Rod's expression didn't seem to change in any way, as if the bottle of potion he had refined was not worth his attention.
Regarding Rod's identity, the man who is a necromancer knows very well that if you just look at the strength, he is completely inferior to the ghost dragon knight who controls the sixth-order undead creatures, Rod.
Taking advantage of this potions competition, the potions science that the man has been studying can finally come into play, which can't help but make the man feel very happy.
The man had full confidence in his potion refining technique, although he did not exert himself to his full strength, but chose such a way to refine, but the man was also convinced that not many people could surpass him in refining potions.
Before going on the field, the man deliberately signaled to Rod, just because he understood the difference in real strength between the two, so as to express his favor, but now, seeing that Rod's expression didn't seem to have changed much, the man's heart seemed to be a little uncertain.
Soon, under the man's gaze, Rhodes also stepped forward and came to the venue of the potions competition.
Beside Rod, Rowling noticed Rod's movements. Rowling was going to say something to Rod, but she didn't have time to say it.
When Rod entered the venue, he could not quit at will, and once he left, it was counted as voluntarily giving up the preliminary round.
Seeing this, Rowling had to look at Rod's back when he left, praying that Rod could successfully complete the game.
